Out of context

I would like to clarify statements attributed to me in an interview (My tallest order in Kosovo, Ecosse, October 16). I was quoted as saying: “My ethical standards will be different from a police officer from Zimbabwe, for instance, or Pakistan or India.” This was in no way a criticism of the officers from these countries, and it was not meant to indicate that they have not contributed greatly to this mission.

It was not my intention to offend anyone but rather to indicate that it is important that a European policing model should be in place in Kosovo in anticipation of future entry into the European Union.
